"His rivals used to say quite a bit
That as a monarch he was most unfit
But still in all they had to admit
That he loved his mother.
"Yes he loved his mother like no other
His daughter was his sister and his son was his brother,
One thing on which you can depend is
He sure knew who a boy's best friend is!
"When he found out what he had done
He tore his eyes out one by one
A tragic end to a loyal son
Who loved his mother."
Oedipus Rex, Oedipus Rex,
Another sad story of death and sex.
You killed yer pa and you loved yer ma
So you gotta go back to Arkasas
